Comments: | When this term is used in the news it usually describes the kind of public communication for which we would use expressions like "appeal" or "call for sth.", while the meaning of "claim" or "demand" is limited to the much narrower context of legal or political disputes. In view of this, i'd like to suggest we reorder the English expressions as shown above. |
